I woke with a throbbing head and a pain in my right leg, I looked where I was shot, a well wrapped bandage was tightened to stop my bleeding, I looked around me, we were in the chopper again, Sam was sitting next to me. "where are we?" I moaned to sam, "Headin for the next target" he replied quietly, I glanced around for awhile, I felt ok to fight, so i got on my gear, then I leaned back again to relax my wounds.
Suddenly, our helicopter started shaking, then it swung out of control, as if we were shot by and RPG or something.The force ripped me to the ground, I started crawling toward the rear door witch was great fully opened. It was really hard to do considering the force of the helicopter kept flinging me around. Finally, I got to the edge of the chopper's rear, I jumped, as I flew into the air, I recognized that we were higher than I thought, what was I thinking this is suicide! As I fell from the sky, the chopper was on fire, spinning uncontrollably. As I fell and fell, I wondered when I would land? I got closer to the ground, about 150 feet away now, I couldn't look. Finally, I felt a great impact on my left side, I opened my eyes, I hit the ground with great pain. I rolled across the dusty ground, and then came to a painful stop. I sat up, I was alive! I looked at the helicopter, it was terribly spinning now and almost to the ground, then I saw my squad fall out right before the chopper hit the ground. I ran to see if the rest of the crew survived, I saw the pilot suffocating and struggling to get out of his glass dome, I pulled out my Large buck knife from my boot, and smashed on the glass.
Soon After, the glass cracked and then, shattered, I quickly, yanked the pilot out. Luckily, he was perfectly ok, all of us were...
I staggered over to my squad, the hummers arrived soon after. I hopped in a hummer, sergeant Randal came with us too, "we're going to set up camp up toward Russia" he explained, I nodded before shutting my eyes for some sleep.
When i woke up the sky was pale gray with the dimmest of light creeping through the clouds, the ground was covered with a blanket of thick frosty snow. The Russian Breeze froze my face, I pulled up my coat over my cheeks.
I noticed we've drove about 2 miles into Russia. Soon, we reached a small abandoned warehouse, "this is where we will stay til' we receive enough supplies to move on" Randal Explained, I grabbed my bags and hopped out of the hummer.
I glanced at the building, then stumbled inside. Inside it was dark and cold, little light came in through the window.
I could see a few beds lined up against the wall, a radio and some control things lined the northern wall, I sighed and dropped my bags on one of the beds and stared out the window, the sun set flames across the snowy mountains in the horizon.
I awoke just before the sun was up, I sat up to think about things, I thought about my family and friends I used to have.
I glanced around, I saw sergeant Randal leaning in the doorway, staring off in th distance, he was taking sips of his coffee.
I walked over to him, "coffee?" he asked, "please," I replied with a yawn.
He walked off.
He came back with a steaming mug of coffee, and handed it to me, "thanks" I replied, taking a sip of the coffee.
The sun came up at about 10:00, the sky wasn't as dim as yesterday, there was only a thin layer of snow today.
I walked outside to finish my coffee, suddenly, a truck arrived, it was the supply truck. Randal and I walked over to the driver, "mornin'" he greeted, "these the supplies?" randal asked, "sure are!" he replied, I walked to the back of the truck and started unloading.As i unloaded, I found a Gili suit. Gili suits are big suits covered in green and yellow leaves and brambles of branches used as a camo suit, you can crawl in the grass unseen.
"Gili suits?"i asked randal, "yup, you and me are going on a mission using them" he continued, "wow-" I replied with glee.
i picked up the 2 gili suits and placed them on the stairs that lead to the building.
The rest of the supplies were just stuff like food, water cantines, and a few assault rifles.
it was about noon now and i was getting ready for the mission, it was kind of hard to put the gili suit on, but i managed to figure it
out.
I asked which guns to bring, apparently we were going to use the assault rifles, i picked one up off the table and held it tight in my hand. I scampered over to sergeant Randal, who was wearing the gili suit too. " where is the mission?" i asked, "the coast of Kazakhstan and since we aren't quite in russia, we're in Terkemenistan, so we'll be traveling on boat" he replied stumblingly from under the gili suit.
I didn't reply, i just glanced around for awile.
As we were in the hummer on our way to The bay, i could only here the roar of the ground below us.
A few other soldiers were with us too, a young soldier, about 18 years old, another soldier about 27, and a medic that looked about 16. I felt sad that they may die any minute, they were so young...

Chapter Two: Kazakhstan

we finally arrived at the bay, it was a tiny little docking place, full of cargo. I jumped out of the hummer and took off my head peice of my gili suit, and stared down the path that lead to the docks.
A huge metal marine ship waited for us at the dock.
i walked down the path toward a scawny young boy wearing glasses, "hello" he said kindly," im carl, im the technition of this dock" he continued, " youur ship, captain, and crew are waiting for you at Dock 7" he said before heading off again, i walked closer to the docks, and searched for number 7.
I found it, of course it was the big one i saw from the hummer.
I walked down the wooden path that lead to the ship. when i arrived at the base of the ship, a man came over," Hello, im Captain
trilo, and this is the ThunderWave," he said, pointing to the big ship.
I glared at the ship in amazement. Our group of soldiers scamered over to the TunderWave annd walked up the stairs that lead to the ship's door, we stepped inside, the captain came in too, he shone us our cabins.
My cabin was on the 3rd floor from the bottom, the cabin was about 17 feet wide and 12 feet in length, it had a small bed, a desk and a chair, i dumped my bags on the bed and sighed. I thought...i was off to save America...

Prologue:
Mushroom Forest...

long ago, ninjas and mushroom people lived in peace at the mushroom forest,
Then a young general of the mushrooms found a mystic ruby in his mining operation, he studied it for years, suddenly he discovered how to open it's power, he cracked the code, the ruby burst open and the magic within, called Juki magic, wrapped his body...he was consumed by evil...
Poor pergle Wiggleson struggled to stay alive , he survived, but he was evil, he consumed most of the rest of the good mushrooms left to be his minions in slavery. he mutated many of them into undead, giants, and much more, the forest was doomed, but the ninja council left their fate in the hands of two brave ninjas, Jingor, and Hurko, soon after they set off to save Mushroom Forest.

Chapter One
Jingor stepped out of his hut into the fresh Breeze of Yuhju valley.
At this time of day the valley was very peaceful, the Blutterjuys filled the air, flowers lined along the path that lead into the inner village. Jingor walked steadily down the path slowly, saving his time to enjoy the morning's air.
he entered the village, studying the people of the village, merchants, vendors, and little children filled the streets.
Jingor gazed upward toward the Fukii temple that lade upon the mountain's top. That was where Jingor and his friends, Hurko, and the mushroom warrior, Fukai trained, daily.
Jingor set off for the temple, he walked up the long path to the temple gate.
As he arrived and opened the gates, he spotted Hurko slicing a training dummy. "Kanichiwa, Hurko" Jingor greeted with a hardy hello.
"hello, jingor" hurko replied back, with a smile. jingor walked over to the wall with a rack of swords pushed against it.
he picked up his sword, it was an average samuri sword with a red piece of leather wrapped around the handle, jingor picked it up and walked over to the dummy next to Hurko." You know where Fukai is?" Hurko asked," I dont know, hes alway late, considering he is living in the outer village, im sure he'll show up before the sensia comes" Jingor replied confidently.
Soon after, Fukai showed up, he was out of breathe, so They could tell, he was busy this morning.
"You finally showed up eh' Fukai?" " yeah, sorry, my village has had problems with Pergle" Fukai replied.
"that darn Pergle Wiggleson," a voice said, the three turned toward the voice, it was thier Sensia, master Guportaa.
The three bowed before their master, "Rise!" he demanded. The three rose from their bows and stared at their master.
"it is time for you three to go on your journy" he said quietly with a choke, he left them in silence.
"Its time already?" Jingor asked the others, " Im not ready, we've only trains for 4 or 5 moons" fukai complained, "shut up, we can do it!" Hurko exclaimed, "im pretty sure we will meet up with Rhyea at the third wall" he added. Rhyea was Jingor's sister, she was a fully trained ninja before us, and she lives in the third wall near the kingdom's main gate.
the three set off for the outer walls and came prepared for their journey...

Chapter Two
Jingor went back to his hut to get some supplies, when he stepped inside he walked over to the bed and stared out the window that was above it, then he cought a glimse of something outside of the window, it was green and black and looked human, he leaned foward so his head stook out the window. he didnt see anything, so he return to packing, he didnt bring much, because Hurko has the tents, Fukai has the weapons and Rhyea had the fishing supplies and spears for hunting, Jingor didnt need much more, so jingor just put my sword in its sheath, and put on my ninja hood and clothes.
As he stepped outside again he saw the thing again, he walked around his hut several times examining any evidence of another person, and then suddenly, he heard something behind him, he took a quick whirl around and faced the black person, it was Rhyea in her ninja suit, " Rhyea dont do that!" he yelled at her, She put her pionter finger over her mouth to signal not to be so loud, " What are you doing here?" he whispered.
"Fungi mushrooms are a few miles away from the outer wall, so when we set out on our journey be ready," she said, but then, she jumped high up onto jingor's so fast he coudnt reply.
He started off again and this time with no disturbances.
He finally reached the exit of the inner kingdom and entered the center city, this is where Fukai's village is. Jingor noticed that there has been concerns about mushrooms because of all the guards that lined the walls and streets.
At last he got to the outer village, at the gate he could see Rhyea and Hurko standing together, talking, and Fukai was searching in his bag. Jingor walked up to them, " we all ready?" he asked, they all nodded and they set off again.
They walked for hours and hours with no stench of fungi mushroom camps which was a great relieve.
The disk of the sun began to sink into the mountaintops as night time drew closer, they found a hollow tree just off the path, they set up camp there. Jingor slept soundlessly in the same tent as his dear friend, Hurko.

The faintest glimpse of light shed through the tent's door, Jingor sat up with drowsy eyes, for a minute he forgot where he was but then he remembered his journey, he got up and walked outside.
The air was choked by a heavy fog that morning, he went back inside and woke Hurko, they went outside to catch a meal before the others awoke.
Hurko and JIngor returned with a fresh deer, they dropped it on the grond, Hurko kneeled over it and pulled out his arrow from it's neck.
"she's a beuity!" Jingor exclaimed as he got his skinning knife from the tent and started skinning the doe's fur.
After awhile, the doe was grillin over the fire Hurko built. Rhyea suddenly emerged from her tent and so did Fukai.
"Mornin sleepy head" Hurko joked, "hello guys" Rhyea greeted, Fukai was silent, he walked over a log and slumped down on it, he looked very tired.

After breakfast, they set off again, they past high cliffs, tall trees and many strange plants, the fog still choked the air but it was thinner than this morning. As we past more mountains, Jingor smelled the stench of Fungi mushrooms, but it was faint. "we're getting closer to where the fungi were" Rhyea sounded worried, fungi mushrooms were ruthless beast, mindlessly under the control of Pergle Wiggleson, they were mercyless, hanging ninjas that they find, burning anything that doesnt represent Pergle.
As they got further through the tundra land the stench got closer, it wringled their noses, then theyy could here sounds of marching and camands being shouted. Jingor's stomach shrank as the reeking stench got stronger, they heard more sounds, closer this time. They jumped into the bushes and stood still, not a sound was made.
Soon after, Disgusting fungi mushrooms marched by, luckily they werent seen, the mushrooms passed unknowingly.
"now!" Rhyea shouted we jumped out of the bushes into and assualt on the mushrooms, they turned quickly, one shouted, "Ambush!" Jingor pulled his sword, the squad had a decently large one, witch was a Shroom, good thing it was and infected undead, that would be bad and there were about 7 other regular fungi mushrooms. Jingor annd Ryea charged the shroom with full power, Jingor sliced its chest and Rhyea jumped up and staggered its mushroom top head, it let out a yell as fungi oozed from it head and blood flooded from its chest. The shroom slammed to the ground, the others looked worried as they ran at us. Suddenly, almost 20 more ran up from the path further down, where did they come from?
Jingor and his friends began to panic then, almost 1/3 of the men that were charging us were slung off the cliff by a huge green cannan, then good mushrooms from Fukai's village appeared from the trees, they had huge anti-fungi cannans and about 50 guys, we all charged as one into the battle, not knowing who would win...

Chapter three
Finally, the fungi were defeated, Jingor and his friends walked up to the good mushroom who was leading them, he was whereing extremely large armor, huge plate shoulder pads and carried a steel ax in his two hands.
"Captain Linfik?" Fukai asked, "your the Imperial guard of our village" he continued, " i am" he replied with a deep voice, Fukai went over to Jingor and whispered," Can i become an imperial guard at my village, will you mind if i leave?" Jingor thought for a moment," whtever makes you happy, i guess" he replied, Fukai returned to Linfik, "can i be an inperial guar?" he asked, " hmm....sure, why not, we're going to be setting up a base camp close by where you can train, come along now" he said as him and his warriors left.
"well, we best get moving" Jingor explained, his friends nodded and they went on..
